Please be patient as I finish filling the league, tweak the rules & rearrange the website & graphics. I'm always open to feedback for improvement! The rules & format have been simplified & condensed to 1 PAGE & listed below. Rosters, contracts & salaries etc are updated at the END of each season to help make planning next year's team easier.

INAUGURAL AUCTION & ROOKIE DRAFT - Will be held as soon as we fill the league. 3 nominations at a time per owner. Highest bid wins when 24 hr bid clock runs out (resets with a higher bid). Inaugural dradt order will be randomized, straight draft

1 FRANCHISE TAG per season - 1 yr contract - Franchise tag a player unlimited times. CAN NOT be extended, dropped or amnestied. 20% salary increase or top 5 position salary avg, whichever is higher
1 TRANSITION TAG per season - 1 yr contract - CAN NOT be retagged, extended, dropped or amnestied. 20% increase or top 10 position salary avg, whichever is higher
1 EXTENSION per season - Any contract that has NOT been tagged may be extended 1 TIME up to 5 yrs during any season before the contract expires. Salary increases 20% at the time of extension
1 AMNESTY per season - Any contract that has NOT been tagged may be dropped without ANY cap penalties
RESTRICTED FREE AGENT TENDERS - (pending) Still deciding whether or not to have a 1st & 2nd round RFA tenders

SALARY CAP - Hard - $177.2 Million for 2018. We match the NFL
Salaries increase 20% at the END of each season. A $10M 5 yr contract is paid ($10M - yr 1) ($12M - yr 2) ($14.4M - yr 3) ($17.28M - yr 4) ($20.736M - yr 5)
HOLDOUTS - (pending) Still deciding whether or not to have any holdouts
Dropped contracts count 100% against the cap of the current season (unless amnestied). Dropped players are locked for 24 hrs & become FA's with 0 yrs & 0 salary
Dropped contracts with 2 to 5 yrs incur a penalty the next season (60% - 2 yrs) (80% - 3 yrs) (100% - 4 yrs) (120% - 5 yrs). A $10M contract would be ($6M - 2 yrs) ($8M - 3 yrs) ($10M - 4 yrs) ($12M - 5 yrs)
Retired players - count 100% against the cap if they are on your roster. They do not count against the cap once dropped & there is no drop penalty. However; you do not retain their rights if you drop them

TANKING & UNSPORTSMANLIKE CONDUCT - Tanking or acting inappropriately is not tolerated & may result in the lose of picks/winnings or getting kicked out of the playoffs/league
